On the face of it, Americans seem to love trash. Canadians, not so much, as the story of Plasco Energy Group highlights. The company is capitalizing on that apparently national desire to put trash in its place; in Canada’s case, diverting its municipal solid waste, or MSW, to waste-to-energy streams.

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have found a way of channeling solar energy directly into electrical appliances without the need for conventional solar panels.
By attaching fibre-optics cables directly to solar cells, light can effectively be turned into electricity.

Due to its low-farmland usage and reduced costs, algae is continually being tapped as the next great biofuel source.
